There’s some irony in the fact that Whitman, 54, would choose Kleiner (and vice versa): The firm’s highest-profile partner, John Doerr, is a reliable donor to Democratic causes and the environment.

“Meg Whitman joins venture firm Kleiner Perkins”

Al Gore could become world’s first carbon billionaire

Last year Mr Gore’s venture capital firm loaned a small California firm $75m to develop energy-saving technology.

The company, Silver Spring Networks, produces hardware and software to make the electricity grid more efficient.

The deal appeared to pay off in a big way last week, when the Energy Department announced $3.4 billion in smart grid grants, the New York Times reports. Of the total, more than $560 million went to utilities with which Silver Spring has contracts.

The move means that venture capital company Kleiner Perkins and its partners, including Mr Gore, could recoup their investment many times over in coming years.

Real irony, yeah. Arnold is a Republican, and so is Mike Bloomberg.

I have to be careful here because these guys will come after you. But in the past I've written about the VC sharp guys who have a huge investment in what in my opinion are very questionable energy projects that are backed by government subsidies or required by government. Of course it's all very legal. Unethical? You be the judge. Just today the lunatics in Sacramento decided that California should have 33% of it's energy by renewables by 2020. This is ludicrous but there are people who stand to profit big time by this measure. Think for yourself. These people are sharks and they aren't even my sharks.

Noah Cross has nothing on these guys.
